Got them last year for my 2010 1800. Love them! High quality product. Biggest problem was finding a spot to secure the driver boxes. The double sided tape failed after a year and the boxes were dangling under the fairing. I found a spot to secure them with cable ties.

WingAdmin - I don't suppose you took a pic of how you secured/placed the driver boxes did you?

I was kind of wondering what sort of wizardry he was using to stow them as well.

I didn't. They are thin enough that I was able to just fit them in right behind the headlight, between the headlight and fairing. They're secure and aren't moving, with nothing holding them there except the wires that are connected to them. The old ones I had zip-tied to wiring harnesses through the holes, but these you don't need to do that. I suppose if you wanted to you could zip-tie them right to the headlight itself before you put it in, and that would make things easier.

I am sure there is enough space between the headlight assembly and the fairing walls. But, I have some degree of difficulty on figuring out how to hold the driver boxes in a position that will take advantage of that space as I slide the headlight assembly into the well. I believe the wires are long enough but I seem to lack the necessary expertise to levitate the drivers as I coerce the assembly in place.

Out of frustration, I put it all back together as it was and vowed to give it another try at a later date. The H4 LED headlights I have in place at the moment do not use a driver box or a fan so fitment was really extremely easy.

Went back down to the garage and got everything buttoned up. I removed the small wire harness from the white nylon loop clamp right there in the middle of the two headlights and that let me wiggle things around a little more. In a few days when it's not raining again I'll have to take it out for a quick night spin, they sure look bright in the garage though.

Winging it every chance I get

Interestingly enough, about a year ago I purchased a pair of LED bulbs from China, on Ebay, for a project car I'm building. I haven't finished the car, so I haven't installed the bulbs.

On examining the pictures of the Electrical Connections bulbs, I thought "Gee...those look AWFULLY familiar!".

On comparing them to the EC ones, they appear absolutely identical. The Ebay ad claims the pair puts out 16,000 lumens (8,000 per bulb), but of course I have no way of testing that claim. They're certainly cheap enough, at around $50 USD per pair (about $66 CDN). I actually paid around $75 CDN back when I bought them. It appears prices are dropping.

I have absolutely no idea if these are actually the same as the EC bulbs. They may be just bootleg copies (although amazingly detailed & accurate copies), but I did fire them up & can say they are incredibly bright. The box wasn't included, but they arrived in a foam block with cutouts, identical to the EC ones. They even have the same thermal paste for the heat synch threads.

That is interesting indeed, even more so considering that the ones I got and apparently the ones WingAdmin got (looking at his picture) don't have the "LUMILEDS" script under the LEDs. Maybe you're are the real ones and ours are the fakes!

After having had the pleasure of being on a couple of rides with Scott during the 2nd Annual Gathering, I can strongly attest that his current lights are very bright, but for some reason not offensively so.

The sad part is, the site now says...

If you crouch down to where the lights actually focus their beams, you would find that they are so bright that you cannot actually look into them. However, that's not where other drivers are positioned. So they light up the road fantastically, but don't blind other drivers. Just what you want.

This is an excellent review (thanks!), and last night I installed one of these on my 1982 GL1100 Interstate. There was insufficient space behind the headlight alcove on my fairing to accommodate the heat sink, but I remedied that by using a cutting tool to open up the back of the alcove. Now the heat sink has room to, well, sink heat I guess, but I do have a question: While most of the heat sink enjoys some open space around it, there is a small area of the sink that comes quite close to a part of the fairing that I didn't remove. I could easily cut this section out and rest easy, but I am curious how hot these heat sinks get and if they get hot enough to melt the plastic of the fairing and, worse, start a fire. As I've not used an LED headlight before, I have no idea how hot the heat sink gets. Does anyone have experience with these and know whether I need to create a bit more open space?

And as always, thanks for the wonderful help you folks provide on this forum.

I haven't measured the temperature, but I can tell you they get "uncomfortably hot" - as in, don't touch them with your hands. But nowhere near not enough to melt ABS, and definitely not hot enough to start a fire.
